I'll just say a lot less than the few on Gun broker and about $125 less than MSRP.

No, I've a standing order for an Equinox in with one of my favorite LGS Sig dealers.

Hmmm, nice deal considering the one time I went into TFL, they wouldn't budge on a P238. Got one for considerably less at above LGS. I do expect buds and repeat customers to get deals, but standing firm on sticker is not gonna sell guns.

A brick and mortar store is NOT the effin gunshow. On new guns, The Firing Line clearly posts manufacturer MSRP above the barcode. ALL new guns are priced well below manuf MSRP, including the aforementioned 238. Bob did NOT get any special deal. We do not haggle on new gun prices because the prices are set based on a specific percentage profit margin required to keep the store running and profitable. If you don't get that- I can't really help you. Also- there is no mark-up for CC, free range time when you purchase a gun (at the time of sale), 90 day warranty on all used guns, and of course there are many hours of free expertise and consultation provided there every day. Nor should there be any grumpiness if you take an hour of my time looking at every gun in the case and still don't buy anything. Granted sometimes it is difficult to keep a straight face!
Also- how long does anyone expect a business to keep it's doors open if the customer is allowed to dictate prices across the board? Profit IS the name of the game and you have to allow the owner the ability to make some money.
Wow, quite the hostility considering an "honest review" was asked for.
I said nothing about gunshow pricing, not sure why that came up.
Pure and simple, another LGS had a much better deal on the same gun, almost $100 as I recall, and that was his tagged price, no haggling required. I doubt he lost money on the sale, and I don't expect any for-profit business to give their wares away. I certainly do understand the margins required to keep a business running and your ad hominem attack implying my lack of understanding isn't appreciated.
I try to buy local even if it means spending more, but still shop around and don't waste anyone's time. I knew what I wanted and the going price when I walked through the door and wasted maybe 5 minutes of the counter person's valuable time. If you REALLY want to know about my experience, aside from price, it took me much longer than that to get someone's attention, and there were at least 3-4 guys standing behind the counter B.S. between themselves.
I don't know who pissed in your Wheaties this morning, but I wasn't trying to be the one. Your attitude towards my honest and sincere post certainly won't get me back in the store.The PM also wasn't necessary to alert me to your rant.

There was no hostility at all in the post or my PM. You stated 2 things that were not true, I simply corrected you with a perfectly logical and accurate report.

Have to agree with Dave on this one. You can always find a better price somewhere. Bottom line is are the prices reasonable for the convenience of walking into a shop and handling the firearm, comparing it to other makes & models and actually getting sound advise (if you need it). As for brick & mortars, compare their regular prices to Gander & Bass. If you really want sticker shock, go to Gunsmoke. Hell they may even make you a TV star.

Considering the AVAILIBILITY of the P 938, anything below MSRP is a fair deal.
If, like the P238 you can wait a year or two, then below MSRP pricing will be common.
To find a P938 at all in a Metro area LGS at over $100 below MSRP, and the model I was wanting, the Extreme version (also called the "Nightmare" in some articles and online reviewers) is what I think a more than fair deal.
Maybe your opinion will differ, but keep in mind:
"That opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and yours is a little different than the next guys. Also it may stink more.". [Tooth]
You got a great deal on a hard to find gun Bob. However, the Extreme and Nightmare are two distinct and different models, not one and the same.

Based on your post, you must have gotten your 238 for $479, since the price we sell the standard model (with Trijicons) is I believe $579. If it is not too much to ask, I am curious as to what you got, what you paid and perhaps even where you got it?
Don't think any of that would get a secret agent killed!
No executive privilege necessary. I was originally looking for an Equinox but nobody had them. I paid $525 for the P238 Ni w/night sights, no CC charges, at Denver Guns & Ammo. He has great prices on mags (I picked up both an extended 7-round and another 6-round) and ammo as well. As *I* recall, TFL's price was $625 when I was in there the end of March this year. I knew what DG&A price was from their website and didn't think it was too much to ask to match the price.
Truth be told, I do own a gun that has been through TFL. I purchased a 1989 W. German P226 privately (through this board) that was picked up as a consignment gun at TFL by the seller.

Yes, I may be wrong but the Sig site only lists 4 models: The Rosewood, The Blackwood, The Equinox and The Extreme.
The only difference between the Extreme and Nightmare are the grips, they are both G-10 material but differ in style. Also the Ambi thumb safety and slide stop are polished steel on the Nightmare. On the Extreme are blued (black).
I am satisfied with what I have purchased even if I am mistaken about the model. [Tooth]

I believe March was when they first started coming in, so the price may have been higher then, as we were probably paying more for them at that time. Regardless, you certainly did get a good deaL

As I understand, the Nightmare was a special limited run for the Premium SIGnificant Dealers. I betcha a buck they all shoot the same and make the same holes. [Beer]
Like I already said Bob, you got a great deal as so many of these are being sold at or even above MSRP by some dealers. Supply and demand at its finest.
I actually got the P238 for my wife to try but as she doesn't have a CHP yet, I'm using it as my summer carry until the P938 Equinox I'm holding out for starts shipping around August. They sure do fit nice in the pocket, and shoot so much better than the LCP's of the world. In all actuality, I'll probably be back into my P229 carry in the fall by the time I get my hands on a P938. Hopefully the prices will stabilize a bit by then.
